"Post-polypectomy coagulation syndrome occurs during a colonoscopic polypectomy procedure when electrocoagulation injury causes a transmural burn to the colon without radiographic evidence of perforation 1,2."

Line 1:12 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'Post-polypectomy'.

"Post-polypectomy coagulation syndrome is also known as post-polypectomy syndrome, transmural burn syndrome, or post-polypectomy electrocoagulation syndrome."

Line 3:4 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'Post-polypectomy'.

"Post-polypectomy coagulation syndrome is a rare complication with an incidence between 0.07-1.0% 1,2. A retrospective cohort study determined the condition occurred in 6 of 16,318 colonoscopic polypectomy procedures 3."

"Patients with post-polypectomy coagulation syndrome develop symptoms within several hours to five days post-procedure 2. Typical symptoms can mimic colonic perforation and include fever, tachycardia, abdominal pain, leucocytosis and localised peritonitis 1,2."

"Unlike colonic perforation, post-polypectomy coagulation syndrome can be managed conservatively without surgical intervention. Treatment involves broad-spectrum antibiotics, intravenous fluids, bowel rest, analgesia, and observation 1,9."

"Most patients are discharged from hospital after 3-5 days 1. Severe post-polypectomy coagulation syndrome occurs in only ~3% of cases, with no recorded deaths 1."

"Early recognition of post-polypectomy coagulation syndrome and differentiation from perforation is important to avoid unnecessary hospitalisation and surgery in a condition that can otherwise be managed conservatively 1,2."

Line 35:25 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-polypectomy'.
